Presentation: How SoundCloud uses Cassandra

We'll be looking at how SoundCloud uses Cassandra. At the moment we mostly use Cassandra for our stats product, which provides analytics data to people with sounds on SoundCloud. Since releasing that, more teams in SoundCloud have started using Cassandra, and so the exact content of this presentation will depend on how they get on between the time of writing this and QCon - whatever happens I'll let you know! The intention is to describe at least a couple of Cassandra instances, from the point of view of the products and functionality they support, and describe some different problems we've encountered, and how we've attempted to overcome them.
